I’m back again with a great recipe to go with the Prime Rib Roast I shared with you a couple of days ago. If you haven’t checked that out yet you should hop on over to grab the recipe. It’s a perfect roast for the holidays or any Sunday dinner. Yorkshire pudding is an English side dish. The dish is sometimes served with beef and gravy or au jus, and it’s a staple of the traditional British Sunday roast beef dinner. We’re really big on family traditions in our household. Sunday dinner has always been a big deal at the Beaulieu house. When the hooligans were little, we had a big dinner every Sunday night. It was just something we always did.
Sundays were Family Day and we took them seriously. We made sure we always spent the day together. Whether we went bike riding at Point Pelee, spent the day horseback riding, or went to see a movie, we always came home early to make an amazing meal. Usually we made Roast Chicken or Roast Beef, with all the trimmings. I’ve always loved to cook, so making big meals for family was always a treat. I love being in the kitchen cooking up a storm. I’ve always found cooking very relaxing. So my time spent in the kitchen was like therapy. Some people buy shoes, I cook. I grew up in a “meat and potatoes” type of family. To me it screams “comfort food!” The ideal dinner for me is Roast Beef, Mashed Potatoes, Fresh Corn on the Cob and Yorkshire Pudding. No dinner is complete without dessert, so if I had to pick one it would likely be cheesecake. Lots and lots of cheesecake!
My family goes crazy for roast beef, and they love Yorkshire Pudding too. I love making things my family adores. It puts a smile on my face to see them get excited about a great recipe. They fall in love with a recipe, and then they want to try making the recipe for themselves. Life comes full circle. Traditions get carried on. To me that’s the beauty of cooking and baking. You get to spend time with family while making memories, which is really what life is all about. Big Sunday dinners with all the family gathered around the table, laughing and telling tall tales. That’s the perfect way to spend any Sunday, or any day at all, if you ask me.
